nekoite Min.|ˈnɛkəʊaɪt| [anagram of okenite.] A triclinic form of the hydrated calcium silicate Ca3Si6O15.6H2O found at Crestmore, California, which differs from the okenite of other localities in its optical and X-ray properties.
1956Gard & Taylor in Mineral. Mag. XXXI. 20 The Crestmore material must be regarded as a new species. Because of the likeness to okenite, the anagram nekoite is suggested. 1962Ibid. XXXIII. 70 Nekoite was discovered at Crestmore, California, by Eakle (1917), who identified it as okenite. 1971Acta Crystallogr. B.XXVII. 473/2 When fibre bundles of nekoite are heated to temperatures between 200 and 250°C water is lost reversibly, the apparent limiting water content of the crystal from the ‘immediate weight-loss’ curve corresponding to the composition 3CaO.6SiO2.3H2O. |
